City Utilities of Springfield, Missouri v. Williams Natural Gas 
Co.; Notice of Complaint

August 11, 1994.
    Take notice that on August 5, 1994, City Utilities of Springfield, 
Missouri (CU) filed with the Commission a complaint against Williams 
Natural Gas Company (WNG) and motion for expedited relief pursuant to 
Section 5 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA)\1\ and Rules 206 and 212 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\15 U.S.C. Sec. 717d.
    \2\18 CFR 385.206 and .212.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CU, an LDC customer of WNG, asks that the Commission investigate 
and either summarily rule on or, alternatively, set for hearing WNG's 
application of the right of first refusal provision in its tariff.
    CU seeks an order from the Commission finding that: (1) bids made 
by Tartan Energy Company (Tartan) for CU capacity on WNG were not bona 
fide bids; (2) WNG erred in requiring CU to match the Tartan bids; and 
(3) WNG wrongly awarded Tartan the right to acquire 69,460 Dth of CU's 
79,460 Dth of firm transportation capacity.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said complaint should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Rules 214 and 211 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214, 385.211. All such motions or 
protests should be filed on or before September 12, 1994. Protests will 
be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action 
to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to 
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection. Answers to this complaint shall be 
due on or before September 12, 1994.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
